override variable with groovy script #3497

#1

happymmm · 9 years ago

i have a variable defined in root level, say xyz. a child configuration, A, obviously has an inherited variable of "xzy". In a different child configuration, B, I would like to use groovy script to override "xyz" value in configuration "A". i keep getting an error of "java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method setValue() on null object".

def conf = system.getConfiguration('root/A');
conf.getVar("xyz").setValue("123");

if i use "conf.variables.add(var);", it works. however, it would keep adding a new variable for each build.

Please try below script:

def conf = system.getConfiguration('root/A');
def var = null;
for (each in conf.variables) {
  if (each.name == "xyz") {
    var = each;
    break;
  }
}
if (var == null)  { // var "xyz" not defined in "root/A", so we add a new one (this effectively overrides the one defined in "root")
  var = new com.pmease.quickbuild.variable.Variable();
  var.setName("xyz");
  var.setValue("123");
  conf.variables.add(var);
} else { // the variable already defined in "root/A", so we simply change the value
  var.setValue("123");
}
system.configurationManager.save(conf); // do not forget to save the configuratioin
